Update

Wow! This has been a busy year! I graduated in May with honors. We moved from Alexandria to Mankato (hurray for cable TV). I started classes at MN State University, Mankato and just finished my first semester with all A's. Go me!

I'm really looking forward to the new year. New school, new classes, new home, new job (hopefully soon) ... it gives one a sense of hope with all this newness surrounding me.

I have been thinking over that New Year's tradition of making resolutions (you know ... those things you start on January 1st and quit about two weeks into the new year) and have decided to start mine a little early this year.

What are my resolutions for this year you ask? Well, they are quite ambitious as always. We will just have to wait and see how many I manage to keep. I think goals are important. At least it gives one a direction to shoot for and a clear view of your failures. hehe

  • Exercise at least 3 days a week
  • Wii Fit every day
  • Lose weight
  • Eat healthier
  • Quit smoking
  • Blog at least once a week
  • Update my website
  • Finish all those little projects lying around the house
  • Get rid of the clutter in my home
  • Pay down debts
  • Maintain my 4.0 at Mankato State
Well that's 11 new resolutions. That should be enough to ensure I don't get them all done! Hey! I believe whole-heartedly in the concept of progress not perfection. Striving to improve oneself is half the battle whether you make the goals you set or not. At least you have tried.

So wish me luck! I'm going to need it. I hope your New Year's Resolutions all work out for you as well. Remember the power of positive thinking is a very strong force. You can do it!!
